The station was constructed as part of the Tuas West Extension of the EWL, which opened on 18 June 2017. It takes its name from the nearby road of the same name, which serves the Tuas West industrial area.

When opened, Tuas West Road station is expected to serve industries in the vicinity of Pioneer Road and Tuas West Road, such as Tuas Avenue 9 / 11 / 12 / 20, Tuas Lane and Tuas West Avenue.

Platforms

Tuas West Road station has two elevated East West Line platforms in an island platform arrangement. Half-height Platform screen doors are installed at the platform edge for the safety of commuters.

The station is built with a barrel vault roof design similar to other stations between Tuas Link and Pioneer, and many other overground stations along the Eastern side of the East West Line. The large curved roof does away with support columns for a more specious feel and easy navigation at platform level. Half-height Platform screen doors are installed at the platform edge for the safety of commuters, and retrofitted High volume, low speed (HVLS) fans keep passengers cool. Skylights on the roof, running the length of the station, allow natural lighting into the station platforms.

Passenger Information Systems, which are plasma display screens located at each platform, display expected train arrival times and key messages. Tactile flooring helps to guide the visually-handicapped from the platform to station exits. Escalators, lifts and stairs connect the Platform level to the Ticket Concourse level below.
